hi all i am just looking for a bit of advice.

i am thinking about building a budget pc to play games for my son got a £200 budget

i currently have a few items here which are

athlon x2 245
gigabyte GA-M61PME-S2P mainboard
3gb ddr2 800 ram
gs600 psu

these are from an old working system i had now my son is only 7 years old, is the system above ok if i was to equip it with a hd 6770 for games that are for his age group

i need to pick up a decent gaming case as he wants it to look half decent was looking at the vibox lizard type case, and a 500gb/1tb hdd

any idea on a cheap decent looking case for a kid also if the gpu is ok as an entry level, would this setup be ok for the next 3-4 years before he starts to play the higher aged 12+ games or do i need to start looking at changing the cpu as well or cpu ram and board ??

any help would be gratefully received
